New Japan Pro Wrestling has seen both the path of light and the path of darkness. 1972 was the birth date for New Japan Pro Wrestling, Inoki still had his mind clear at that time...until he became crazy with his MMA vs. Wrestlers "Worked Shoot Fight" obsession at the late 90s and leading up the the 21st century. This change didn't help New Japan at all.

Pro Wrestling NOAH, AJPW, other Japanese wrestling promotions saw lights due to the change in NJPW's product. This made NJPW lose balance in financial ways, made the IWGP heavyweight title lose it's credibility. The most important thing that happened was New Japan Pro Wrestling almost dying. Inoki sold it to Yuke's. Yuke's sold it to Bushiroad. This was the moment from Inoki being kicked out of the promotion, needed a new booker to show the promotion it's path to light again. Tiger Hattori with the help of other, made Gedo & Jado the bookers of New Japan Pro Wrestling.

Thus the journey from the dark path comes to an end, while the journey to the path of light continues. Will Gedo & Jado be able to work in order for New Japan Pro Wrestling to reach the top of the world?

It was officially announced this evening that the G-1 Tag League Tournament is on it's way. The G-1 Tag League will start it's way from tomorrow evening. The Tournament Blocks announced are as following:

Initially Jado was out powered here because Jado and Gedo are Junior heavyweights and Togi Makabe and Tomoaki Honma are heavyweights here.

Gedo signaled for the Gedo clutch only for Makabe to cut him off the “Lariat”. ~Togi Makabe & Tomoaki Honma gains 2 points in Block B.

Toru Yano is a dangerous wrestler here, with his heelish persona and winning in any means necessary. Shinsuke losing the IWGP heavyweight title to Hiroshi Tanahashi caused him his momentum. Shinsuke looks to gain it back through winning the tournament, will he be successful?

This was a solid match. Shinsuke knows Yuji very well and vice versa, which usually was a advantage to both of them. The chops connected and the sequences to false finishes continued, until... Yano gets tagged in, while Nagata tags in Wataru. Yano does his usual trying to hold and take Inoue to the corner.

This was a very solid match. Tanahashi had all the potential to carry this match on his own. Tenzan and Kanemoto played big part here. Taijiri and Kanemoto had good showing with the stiff strike and kick exchanges. Tenzan and Ray gets into the strike contest, with Tenzan hitting a scoopslam followed by a running elbow drop before tagging in Tanahashi.

This was where the action started, the tag champion showed why they the f’n champs in the first place. They kept short tag between them and Taijiri, a simple strategy but effective. Tanahashi knowing from the experiences in countless battle he had had, he showed why he was the f’n IWGP heavyweight champion of the world.

~After the match, Prince Devitt is clearly very upset with Taguchi costing the match. A huge loss and humiliation for the IWGP Jr. Tag Team champions. Devitt shoves Taguchi and Taguchi shoves him back. A tension arises between the two. Prince Devitt leaves the ring without any further incident, as Taguchi seems a little worried and angry. How long will the “Apollo 55” last?

Takao Omori is from “AJPW” first of all, before he also worked in “Pro Wrestling NOAH”, he is working as a freelancer so he is involved in the Tag league this year. This can be also said as “Legend” Yoshihiro Takayama also working in the G-1 Climax this year. So every promotion is involved in other promotion, because one will help the other in time’s need.

Manabu and Ishii gets it going with the usual combo exchanged, and Ishii being the monster brawler not going down that easily. Ishii gets some elbow combos with low kicks, mostly working on Manabu. Ishii gets countered as Manabu hits a lariat. Manabu goes for the cover but Tanaka breaks the count.

~Hiroshi Tanahashi then starts thanking the crowd for their support. He also mentions about the issue about no challenger stepping in for his “IWGP Heavyweight Championship”. He again mentions that “are all of the wrestlers here afraid to step for the challenge?”, he seems to be frustrated until one challenger seems to step in …

Quote:

~Brock Lesnar.

~“Brock Lesnar” rushes towards the ring, and immediately starts punching Tanahashi off to the ground. The crowd pops in a thunderous way, to see a “former” WWE superstar here in NJPW. He lifts him up and “German Suplex”-ed him multiple times. Brock picked Tanahashi up in the air and the “F-5” connects. Brock drags Tanahashi outside. He breaks the guard rails with his monstrous strength, seting them up, and lifts Tanahashi to “F-5” him again on top of those guard rail metals. Tanahashi is “Broke in Two”.

~Brock Lesnar snatches the microphone from the announcer’s table, gradually not destroying it. He says that he was a piece of Tanahashi and wants his championship belt. He says that he will destroy Tanahashi. The next time he meets him it will be in this ring at “Final Battle X” and he will kill him if he has to. Brock Lesnar poses in the ring as the camera zooms in the bloodied face of Tanahashi…as it fades away. The show comes to an end.

~Some Notes:

IPW:UK have made a contract offer to Fregal Devitt, known as Prince Devitt in NJPW. It seems to a pay per appearance contract, they are wishing to give in about $1,800 per appearance, which is quite good in my opinion. If Devitt signs the contract he can used for 3 years. Only Devitt knows to answer, I'm not pushing him to accept it, but this can be a set up for a IPW:UK and NJPW relationship. Only time will tell.

WWE have increased their Broadcast Quality to HDTV, which is a good sign to improve in this business in terms of Broadcasting. WWE might also be extending their TV network deals this month. TNA and WWE seems to be extending their TV deals. The deals have reached agreement with both promotions.

Manabu Nakanishi is in a bad mood having lost to Tomohiro Ishii and Masato Tanaka last night. He seems to win here, gaining 2 points at least to have some prestige. Yuji Nagata & Manabu Nakanishi are no strangers to each other, having fought each other countless times. Wataru Inoue & Takao Omori are Junior Heavyweight here.

Yuji and Manabu starts in the most traditional way of Japanese wrestling. Yuji seems to go for the back, while Manabu tries to wear the head down.

There were some tension between the “Apollo 55” members, especially after their last night's match between “Gedo & Jado”. Gedo & Jado clearly out-smarted Ryusuke Taguchi. The tension occurred when Devitt was clearly frustrated as Ryusuke couldn’t win against the veterans. The humiliation came for the current IWGP Jr Tag team champions. If they can win again one of the best of New Japan Veteran “Masahiro Chono” and this former stablemate from the “Team 2000” AKIRA, they can prove the fans wrong and show that their loss was just a fluke.

Devitt clearly is in a serious mood, he runs at the ring of the bell and throws punches carelessly. Masahiro Chono snaps Devitt to the ground and the chin-lock connects. Devitt gets a tag to Ryusuke Taguchi, as they both hits double team “Elbow-Senton” on AKIRA. Devitt tells Rysuke to be careful out there and not lose again.

~Tanahashi and Brock Lesnar’s path crossed and now it’s for the “IWGP Heavyweight Championship”, Brock has since been beating the shit out of Tanahashi. Tanahashi can’t seem to get the upperhand in, but last night in their match we saw Tanahashi getting adapted, maybe there will be a opening where Tanahashi can strike.

~After the match ended. Masahiro offered a handshake to Gedo & Jado accepted, they embrace the last time before Gedo & Jado heads to the back, leaving Masahiro & AKIRA to celebrate.

Stiff battle between Ishii and Yuji Nagata. The chops, the strikes, the beating looked sick. Ishii and Yuji battles it to the point where Yuji Nagata hits a devastating Enzuigiri. Nagata goes for the “Nagata Lock Variations” but Ishii was quick enough to transition from the lock and escape. Masato gets the hot tag in, with Masato hitting Nagata with a striking offense and dropping Inoue off the apron.

Inoue and Masato starts elbowing each other before Masato whips him into a powerslam. Masato nails quite a good elbow drops. Masato tags in Ishii and sets to to take care of Nagata. Ishii cuts of Inoue with multiple “Lariat”s before nailing the “Ishii Driller”. ~Masato Tanaka & Tomohiro Ishii gains 2 points in the Block A.

Brock Lesnar sets his focus on injuring Tanahashi more and more before Strong Machine makes his presence known, Brock’s and Machine’s strength where almost matched to each other, Machine having more experience, gives Brock a challenge. They Both get in a ‘Test of Strenth’ Contest, as Machine “Powerslams” Lesnar.

Lesnar makes a tag to Team 3D, as all of them Triple team on Machine, working on him. Hiroyoshi and Tanahashi goes for the save but the heels cut them off. Brock tries to hit the “F-5” on Machine but Tanahashi counters, which let Machine slips. Machine and Tanahashi hits a combination of Double “Dragon Screw” on Lesnar. At the point all of them are brawling outside the ring, before Brother Ray and Tanahashi gets in. Tanahashi and Ray work on each other before Tanahashi hits the “Sling Blade” before cutting him off with the “High Fly Flow”.

~As soon as the match ended. Brock crushes Tanahashi and hurts him more, before a man rushes towards the ring…

"Claudio Castagnoli"

“Claudio Castagnoli” rushes his way to the ring with a chair in his hand. Brock and 3D tries to get ready for the attack, but Strong Machine and Tenzan from the back attacks Brock and company. As Claudio enters the ring, Brock and Team 3D rolls out, as they all exchange stares and glares, as the show comes to an end.
